Has anyone been to the ZOO recently?

I went on Wednesday, after 7 or 8 years? And was rather disappointed with what’s there or rather, what’s LEFT.

There seemed to be so few animals that it felt more like a walk through a garden?

Anyway, I don’t exactly like going to the zoo, cos no matter how Man tries to replicate their natural habitats, the sad truth prevails – the animals are still being held in captivity.

So the whole while there, I was feeling sorry for the animals. They could have been much happier in the wild (I think), though that means having to fend for themselves.

Similarly for me, I’d rather make my own foolish mistakes, fall, learn and rise up again, rather than to live under the shadow of someone else.

However after all’s being said, zoo trip was still real awesome due to the great company!!!

 

 

Our Indonesia hosts came over to Singapore for a short visit, so we played hosts to them this time!

It must have cost them a bomb to even travel here, so our team covered much of their expenses. Glad they enjoyed themselves greatly! :)

They had been real good hosts to us for 2 weeks in Indonesia, taking care of us and seeing us through our many obstacles and repercussions. Certainly not an easy feat for a team of 22 people! 

 

Some random flashbacks…

After hotspring! He tied this for me. :)

In their church.
Both brothers are very talented. The elder one (in pink) is the church drummer and can sing real good. Many of our hearts were melted. :)

Their dad is a pastor and keyboardist in church. Mum’s a worship leader and a superb wife and mother. A great role model for the girls. :)

Dad giving his farewell speech on our last night there. It was an emotional night~

But we will definitely meet again. :)

Talking about parting and stuff, last night was my last cell group meeting with W472. I thought I wouldn’t cry! But I did. =P

It’s been a great privilege to be pioneering this cg together with Shing, to witness lives being radically transformed by God and to love and serve God together through the ups and downs of life.

As uncertain as the journey ahead, I’m excited to unravel what’s in store and to begin a new phase of life. :)

I’ll certainly miss the “omnipresent” sounds of laughter and cheerfulness in W472 though! =P

And of SOME people’s constant teasing. Lol… By the way, the average age of the cg drops by ONLY 0.2. Lol…

 

On a parting note:

Keep tapping into your potential, you’d never know where it will lead you to!

And keep walking with God, He’ll definitely lead you to where you are supposed to be! :)
